Mr.. 4cNair proceeds with his work
every citlnsn Of Delaware should feel
| that they have m interest In It, and
should assiat him In every manner
| possible with important data and facts.
Tho histories have been too much ne
elected In the pest. We should mot live
from Day to day without reference %
| the past and to the future. Here We ara
396 yesrs after the discovery Of America
| By Columbus cropping away back Into
tho dark past In IN effort to bring TO the
surface some golden gems Of history,
tho record Of which has been lost. We
must gather up the stranded fragments
wherever we can hnd them, and record
them In this history thas tho Messrs,
Richards and General NcNair are oom.
piling end publishir z, that those who
come after NJ may not look back upon
the past ~ . barren desert. We bespsak
for Mr.. McNair kind reception and ,
high appreciation OF the laudAble work
IN which he Il edgased By the people Of
Delaware.
